The publicly funded blood and marrow transplant and cellular therapy programme for northern Alberta, based at the Cross Cancer Institute in Edmonton.
The Northern Alberta Blood and Marrow Transplant Programme, abbreviated on the site to NABMTP, is a service of Alberta Health Services delivered at the Cross Cancer Institute on University Avenue in Edmonton. The Cross Cancer Institute's own facility page on the Alberta Health Services website lists the programme among the services it offers.
According to the service page, the programme provides care and support to people requiring cellular therapy. It names three forms: allogeneic blood and marrow transplant, meaning cells from a donor; autologous blood and marrow transplant, meaning the patient's own cells; and CAR T-cell therapy, a form of immune effector cellular therapy in which a patient's immune cells are used as the treatment.
The site states that access is by referral from a health care provider through the Alberta Referral Directory, and that patients must meet the programme's standards for cellular therapy treatment and post-treatment care in order to be eligible. Opening hours are given as Monday to Friday, 8:00 to 16:00.
The page describes a multidisciplinary team made up of coordinators, doctors, nurse practitioners, pharmacists, psychologists, registered dietitians, registered nurses, social workers and spiritual care providers. It states that interpreter and translation services are available. It does not name individual clinicians and says nothing about cost.
The service page describes the treatments offered rather than listing specific diseases, so no condition list can be reported from the site.
The site states that the programme provides cellular therapy in the form of allogeneic and autologous blood and marrow transplants and CAR T-cell immune effector therapy.
The service page describes the team by role but does not name individual physicians.
The programme operates within the Cross Cancer Institute, Alberta Health Services' cancer centre on University Avenue in Edmonton. The service page gives a direct telephone and fax number and states weekday opening hours of 8:00 to 16:00. It states that interpreter and translation services are available to patients. The page does not describe ward or laboratory facilities.
The site says nothing about cost. This is a service of Alberta Health Services, the province's public health system, but the page itself makes no statement about fees.
